Mets High A - ST. LUCIE 3, TAMPA 2: With the Mets trailing 2-1 in the seventh, Eudy Pina tripled to plate Aderlin Rodriguez and tie the score. The next batter, Phillip Evans, drove a pitch from Dietrich Enns into center field for a base hit to score Pina. Jake Kuebler stranded the tying run on third in the eighth by striking out Angelo Gumbs and Zach Wilson. Randy Fontanez struck out the side in the ninth to earn his fifth save in six chances. Mets pitchers struck out 12 batters, including the final five to finish off the Yankees in the opener of the four-game series. The Mets (22-15) have won four in a row and occupy first place in the Florida State League South Division. St. Lucie had a chance to blow the game open early but could not come up with the big hit. Dilson Herrera, Brandon Nimmo and T.J. Rivera all singled to open the bottom of the first against Conner Kendrick. Rivera’s single scored Herrera and gave the Mets a 1-0 lead. However, the inning ended when Cam Maron grounded into a double play. Kendrick induced four double-play balls in his six innings. Mets starter Gabriel Ynoa struck out six in five innings. His one mistake was giving up a two-out, two-run double to Eric Jagielo in the third that put the Yankees in front, 2-1. Both runs were unearned because Rodriguez made a throwing error at third base to start the inning. Ryan Fraser pitched scoreless sixth and seventh innings to earn his first win. Herrera, Rivera and Pina had two hits apiece. Evans extended his hitting streak to seven games. He has six RBIs in his last six contests. Box

RiverDogs starter Jaron Long was electric over seven innings, allowing three hits while striking out five.
